I think we all realize just how pathetic Ticketmaster is but this takes the cake! They have a listing selling tickets for Paul playing in Perth, Australia on January 1, 2030! Yes, you read that right, 2030!!!
Hey, Paul will only be 87!

So, are these all the US dates for 2019? Or are there more rumors?

I can't see it, but apparently there was one of those hint videos posted on Paul's Facebook today - trucks driving down the highway and the date January 15...so looks like something is getting announced tomorrow....
-
Someone recognized the location as I-15 outside of Las Vegas. A show there will most likely be announced tomorrow.

Paul likes to surprise us with something...wonder what it is? That reminded me of the Back In the U.S tour on the DVD with his trucks driving on the freeway. I'm sitting here scratching my head wondering what Paul is up to now? Haha.

No Glastonbury! Pop the champagne.

Thank god! If he does something like British Summer Time then that’ll be great. He would not have come off well if he did Glasto. He never does when he does a tv performance

Not sure if this has been reported yet, but I've heard a rumor that Paul will be announcing 1, possibly 2, shows at Wrigley Field in Chicago this summer. The announcement would be made during the Cubs Convention this weekend (For non-US: The Cubs play at Wrigley Field, the Convention is an offseason event for fans, heavily attended by Season Ticket Holders that would have priority access to tickets for this concert).
Almost certainly it would come during that WI/IL leg of his tour. The Cubs are out of town starting on June 10th, given that it takes a day or two to convert from baseball stadium to concert venue, we are looking at most likely June 12th or 13th, although not impossible to think he could head back to the midwest between his Dallas show and San Diego show.

I imagine quite a few people from the Chicago area got tickets for Lambeau Field or Madison thinking he wouldn't be playing any area shows...So we'll see what happens! The timing after Lambeau would certainly fit. That would be quite a few shows within 3 hours of Chicago including the Quad Cities and Fort Wayne.

Oh no! Not outdoors at Wrigley again!

I had vowed no more outside shows & then I did Tinley Park. Are your shows outdoors Veggie?

No, I'm just doing the one arena show. How about you?

Better there than soldier field! Chicago was one of the cities that did get a Facebook tease and all the others that did have been announced . So that rumor makes some sense. He is hitting the Midwest hard, I agree , so two shows would be surprising .
Dead & Co are playing Wrigley on June 14 and 15, so he could definitely do the 12th, don't know if the 13th is too close to the other band's show to allow for load out/in

I wish he was doing an indoor venue. Last time at Wrigley they even had the VIP dinner outside. Under roof but outside. I wonder if that aspect has changed with the updating that they have done there.

I know that last year they did Billy Joel and Fallout Boy on back to back nights, but I am not sure if their respective sets are easier to assemble/disassemble than Paul and the Dead's. Paul's is fairly elaborate relative to other outdoor concert sets I would imagine.

I am a Cubs season ticket holder, and haven't heard a peep about Macca playing there. Doesn't mean it wont happen. I doubt he would play on the 12th or 13th . He has no back to back dates scheduled. He's in Moline on the 11th and Texas on the 14th.
If anything it will be after July 13th, as the cubs are out of town from July 22-aug 1. He played 7/31 and 8/1 in 2011. The question is will he add dates back in the midwest after Cali. Is he headed back to NY for the summer? Or going back to London?

Not possible for him to do the 12th of June. They need at least 2 days on either side for a stadium show and if you look at the tour he is in Moline on the 11th and Arlington Texas on the 14th. The conflict with the other shows would prevent this as well, also the Cubs wouldnt want to have the grass covered for more than 48 hours.

So I originally posted this rumor. There was not a concert announced at Cubs Convention, so I must have gotten some bad info. There still might be a concert announced...my source is a Cubs STO and pretty plugged in about things like this, but obviously he was wrong about it being announced last weekend.
I hate when people post rumors that turn out false and then disappear so wanted to at least give an update.
